Advanced Squares Nov. 17

This evening was a perfect evening for a dance. Rod Shuping from southern California was the caller and I of course was the cuer. We had a wonderful A2 dance with lots of fun, humour and some really good work-shopping of figures from Rod. This format just has 15 minutes of pre-rounds before the square dancing starts so the number is less than normal, but today I managed to squeak another quick one in.
I always make a program for a dance, but that's just the starting point. It usually evolves and changes during the dance itself depending on who attends and what people are feeling like actually doing. So, here is what I ended up doing for rounds with plenty of participation from the dancers.

Pre-Rounds:

Lady Marmalade IV+1 CHA by DeChenne

C’est Si Bon III+2 FT by Grooms

Die Lorelei III+1 WZ by Bendewald

Maple Leaf Rag II TS by Kern

I Wanta Quickstep III+1 QS by Palmquist

Square Dance Doubles:

Beach Party Cha III CHA by Williams + Rimini II WZ by Clements


Belsize Waltz IV WZ by Huffman + Swissy Missy II+1 TS by Koozer


Biloxi Lady IV+1 RB by Eddins + Feelin’ II WZ by Barbee
